Ben RHM II - LZG.NRW

Benchmarking Regional Health Management II (BenRHMII) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The sixth Steering Group meeting was held on May 18th 2007 in the Ministry of Em- ployment, Health and Social Affairs of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia in Düsseldorf. At the meeting, the Steering Group examined the contents of the final report. The last meeting of the Steering Group members was a “Working Session” to wrap up the whole project. It took place at the Institute of Public Health of the State of North Rhine- Westphalia (lögd) on 9 - 10 July 2007 in Bielefeld, Germany. The members of the Steering Group finalised the methodology about good practice and identified good practice ap- proaches. In addition to regular telephone calls, the Steering Group also used an e-mail list to continuously ensure a good flow of information. This has proven an effective means of com- munication. 3.3.2 Communication and dissemination The Project Secretariat designed a flyer for the BenRHMII project that was continuously updated (last updated in March 2007; see annex 6) and widely distributed at conferences, fairs and meetings. This leaflet briefly informs about the project’s concept, partners and partici- pants and contacts. A webpage (http://www.ben-rhm.nrw.de) – also containing the flyer – was set up to inform a wider audience about the project and its predecessor BenRHM I. 2 This homepage was supportive but will not serve as an exclusive platform for publications. First interim results of BenRHMII were already published in an international peerreviewed journal (see annex 4).
